SLAG

You can feel the menacing circle pit start to swell up from the first notes of "Anxiety Attack" and then the follow up tune lurches the mass forward, crashing a mess of bodies and sweat headlong into a band that is already at the very brink of complete destruction. SLAG dish out bare bones hardcore with unparalleled fury, tempered only by UK82 bass lines that offer the only discernible hooks aside from the ones that manage to sneak out of a guitar that is being mercilessly beaten in the name of punk. These sounds are made with intent - mean as hell but still infectious, file this alongside S.H.I.T. and VIOLENT FUTURE (unless you are a stickler about alphabetizing).

I thought for a second this was the short lived state college band of the same name from 1989 til I opened it up...the guitarist went on to be in Don Cab from pgh. Not the same band but Im sure Ill dig it.Some day ill have to send you my Slag demo since ill probably never get it digitized(basically they remind you of Don Cab with singing/lyrics)...just have a hard time parting with stuff from my young life. haha. Robert,Thank you for the huge volume of sounds

TAPES....FUCKING TAPES!!!

TERMINAL ESCAPE is a home for cassettes. Terminal Escape is here to share music that was released on, or copied onto, cassette. Whenever possible, I have linked the posts to currently active labels and/or bands, and you are encouraged to buy physical copies of the tapes you enjoy, as this blog is meant to support those bands and labels, not circumvent them. Likewise, if you have a legitimate claim to any of the music I've shared and would like it removed, I'm happy to do so.

DEAD LINKS are common. I will likely not repair broken links, because I am more focused on daily uploads. Various overzealous file hosting sites are making it increasingly difficult to share even non-copyright protected music, and as a result the majority of the download links in older Terminal Escape posts are probably not active.
